That Summer Day

May 26

The following day, I woke up in the midst of a group of people who are sleeping on their own silly way. One sleeps with his head on a piece of log, Cameron is hugging a bunch of sand, while Blake is sleeping like a prince who's been dreaming on its own canopy. Everybody was there, everyone except her. She was nowhere to be found. My eyes searched all around the sight, but no Cassy could be seen.

I stood up and brushed all off the sand that clung to me from last night. I remembered that I was wet and now dry from the salty water of the ocean. I can't believe I slept like that!

I went back to my cabin which was just across the beach, around a curb, straight and left to many turns. I washed myself thoroughly and packed up some things for my plans. As soon as I closed the door, I heard my name being called from across my home. "Ethan! Hey Ethan!" Then there she was, clothed in a white summer dress which brings out her excellent tan even more. "Hey!" I walked towards her place and we both greeted each other with a side hug. "The girls and I left early this morning. You boys were really asleep." She said with a laugh as I just completely stood there mesmerized of how every word falls from her mouth.

"Yeah! It was always like that to us." I laughed at my own self too for how awkward I'm being whenever I'm around her.

I then took my leave and decided to head back to the beach to collect some of the stuff that I've left on the area. "Dude! I can't believe you left us." Came a furious Cameron who seems to be awoken from his deep sleep. "Sorry man! I can't take it, you guys look so peaceful." I teasingly responded as I grabbed my board and my bag.

"So what's the plan?" I sat down in one of the logs and looked at a serious Blake in front of me. "I'm going to the cliff, wanna join?" Right after my question, the boys were gone like a speed of lightning, probably running towards their own homes in order to catch up with the activity we've never done in quite a while.

"Last one gets the rotten egg!" I screamed as I ran for the nearest rock to start my climb on the steep cliff. "Almost there!" Shouts Blake who was technically on the bottom of the rock. "Pretty sure Ethan here would be faster if dear Cassy is here." Cameron began to tease as I carefully stepped into the rocks that will take me to a view worth climbing for.

"Say what you wanna say, I'll be there before the dawn breaks!" The three of us then race towards the top and settled at one of the flat surfaces before Blake decided to jump. "For the economy of our beloved nation!" He dictated before he plunged into the freezing water. "All for love!" Comes Cameron who did a backflip from the cliff to the ocean. As for me, I was still waiting for her. Hoping that she'd know I'm here and somehow she'll follow me.
